The Mayan Indians of Guatemala live in the mountain villages of their ancestors, in many ways preserving their ancient culture.

After the Spanish conquerors arrived in the 16th century, many Maya found their way from the large communal centers to the more remote mountains and forests. There they continued to live and work in the old way.

The weavers and carvers proficient in design and technique struggled to pass these skills on to their children, and eventually to their descendents.
